Assuring Spacecraft Mission Success

[Patrick Klansek @Patrick_Klansek]

Heading out to Cape Canaveral Space Force Station soon to post up for tomorrow morning’s launch. Cooler & camp chair packed, phones, chargers, & hotspot for laptop loaded. Can’t wait to meet some other SLS #Artemis-1 “campers”! Just gotta stop for a thermos of espresso shots ☕️

Just under 12 hours until the first #Artemis launch attempt! Window opens at 8:33am Eastern, 12:33 UTC.

During today’s Agency Flight Readiness Review, NASA decided to autonomously return Starliner from the International Space Station.

RT @fireflyspace: Alpha #FLTA005 update: Our launch today was scrubbed due to a ground support issue. The team has identified the solution…

Starship booster makes soft landing in water, next landing will be caught by the tower arms

Ground system Launch Sequencer Repair is complete (replacement of power chassis). Retesting nearly complete. Engineering Review Board just finished up. Good to go pending successful finishing of the retesting. #CFT

Starship Flight 4, with many improvements, aiming to launch on Thursday!

The main goal of this mission is to get much deeper into the atmosphere during reentry, ideally through max heating.

That's how we roll

Love that @RocketLab has a “family” of spacecraft! @Peter_J_Beck is a great leader and his company is the most consistent space outfit I know!

Especially love that Rocket Lab will be delivering “Lightning” spacecraft to @SemperCitiusSDA. Seems apropos!!

[Rocket Lab @RocketLab]

You know how we developed a spacecraft to go to the Moon? And Mars? And spacecraft capable of reentry? And large communications constellation satellites?

And then we called them all the same thing, Photon?

Yeah, we fixed that.

Update #2 on Peregrine Mission One:

[ULA @ulalaunch]

Liquid hydrogen propellant is now flowing into Centaur V upper stage for launch. This is the final commodity to be loaded into the vehicle during tonight's #VulcanRocket #Cert1 countdown. All activities continue to go well. https://t.co/xFQoT0042V

[Patrick Klansek @Patrick_Klansek]

I’ve got my alarm set in case I fall asleep 😝😜 Go #VulcanRocket go #Peregrine !! 🚀🚀🚀

[ULA @ulalaunch]

ULA Launch Director Tom Heter authorized tanking operations to begin, and the countdown has resumed to fuel the #VulcanRocket with nearly a million pounds (454,000 kg) of cryogenic propellants. Liftoff of #Cert1 is targeted for 2:18amEST (0718 UTC). https://t.co/xFQoT0042V
